Neighbors
The apartment that Tom calls home isn't in the best of conditions, but it's all he can afford, for now. Like the other men in his sister's life, he won't accept much charity (except her cooking and a few housewarming gifts here and there). Once he gets somewhere at the paper, he'll be able to upgrade. He's close to the beach, at least, and the only family he knows.
Today is a day off from work, for once. Tom planned to use his time to work on his writing skills, but man cannot live on coffee alone. A quick check in his refrigerator reminds him that he really needs to throw out those foil-wrapped leftovers, but doesn't reveal anything edible.
He heads outside, stopping to check his mail first in the lobby.
